    Get the 1 gal metal one from Lowes. It's in the hot water heater parts section. I bought a whale one (I think), it was over $100. The Lowes one was I think $40. Same part. Once you have one, you'll never go back. The small black ones stink and are too small for our boats. One of the...

    Best type of prop puller

    I've watched yard guys pound on prop knockers with major force. This is a shock load that is different from fwd/rev use. On my previous boat, a yard used a prop knocker on my stb prob. Shortly thereafter, I found chips in trans fluid. Coincidence? Also, the yard guy does not care about your...

    Fuel Polisher for less than $100

    As noted, I already have vacuum gauges on the Racors. As for running the boat to do the same, that is true, but the pump moves 4-5 times more fuel. I'm 1/4 full (50 gal.) so I can filter more fuel faster. An hour of running will filter 360 gal of fuel or filter the 50 gal 7x. Then change the...

    Norcold DE0061 works on DC but not AC

    If I remember correctly, it only does AC => DC. i had the same problem you have. It would just run on DC.

    Norcold DE0061 works on DC but not AC

    From another thread, I posted: "I got a "Norcold 169000500 Power Supply" from Amazon and it has been working great. It was a gamble as this part # does not apply for the DE0061, but it has been working for over a year & a half with no issues." I think it was $130.

    Fuel Polisher for less than $100

    Hi All, I've found a cheap way to polish fuel (I think). I got a diesel fuel transfer pump (gear, not impeller) from Amzn (about $90), then I disconnected the fuel hose from the Racors, connected it to the pump (needed a fitting to do so), then disconnected the fuel hose that goes to the tank...

    WHF Antenna for Garmin 0100209700 VHF 215 Marine Radio on DA340

    Agree on not being able to read the Garmin VHF display!.....I bought one. It was so bad, I thought it was defective, returned it, got another one, still could not read it. Called Garmin, etc, but returned that one and went with Standard Horizon. I've had several Icoms and others, but I've had...

    2024 Bahamas Trips for all

    Grant, Do you have any info on Honeymoon Harbor being closed to us? I've heard a cruise ship company has made an agreement with someone to make that their island and boaters are not allowed to go ashore? thanks Larry

    2024 Bahamas Eleuthera Extended Fling - Get ready to have a bucket list trip of fun

    Hey Grant, Do you have any info on Honeymoon Harbor? I hear a cruise ship company has made a deal with someone and now we are not allowed to go ashore there? If so, this might be the last straw for me at Bimini.

    +1 on Technographics. Expensive, and there was a 4 wk lead time, but they were perfect.

    Garmin 5212 Replacement/Upgrade

    Forrest, FWIW as we have the same helm, I ended up with a 1243XSV. It fit the spot well and I have been very happy with it.
